When we moved here we found out that there is a very good possibility while we live here we will run across a Copper Head Snake! It is a venomous snake from the pit viper family. Lovely! I hope to never have a picture of one of those from the back yard. Because of this possibility we have talked at length with the girls what to do if they ever encounter one. And we also are removing any dead debris from the yard. Because of the drought there is quite a lot. We were clearing a wood pile on the side of the house and found this little family of frogs
.
Random Copper Head facts: They are typically known for being the less venomous of the venomous snakes and bites are almost never fatal.
Random Frog Facts: When they eat they don't chew, just swallow. Frogs eat insects and small rodents. BONUS!
